Alec Baldwin Files Lawsuit Against Crew Members On ‘Rust’ Movie Over Halyna Hutchins’ Death
Despite being under a District Attorney’s watch for probable criminal prosecution, Alec Baldwin decided to sue crew members on set of ‘Rust’ movie, over the shooting which resulted in the demise of cinematographer Halyna.
In the suit filed against Chief Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Assistant Director Dave Halls, Prop Master Sarah Zachry , and the gun supplier Seth Kenney, Alec Baldwin claimed that they flunked to safeguard the movie set.
It read;
“This tragedy happened because live bullets were delivered to the set and loaded into the gun.
“Gutierrez-Reed failed to check the bullets or the gun carefully, Halls failed to check the gun carefully and yet announced the gun was safe before handing it to Baldwin, and Zachry failed to disclose that Gutierrez-Reed had been acting recklessly off set and was a safety risk to those around her.”
Baldwin summed up that he “seeks to clear his name” and hold the crew members “accountable for their misconduct.”
He also pointed a guilty finger at Kenney, the film’s gun supplier, for “haphazardly” storing all the bullets, according to the case.
The suit references an F.B.I report, stating prop specialist Zachry and armorer Gutierrez-Reed forgot to monitor the live rounds on the New Mexico set of ‘Rust’ movie.
